Dr. Charlie Crist, father of Florida’s 44th Governor and his wife watched as their son delivered his first state of the state address today. The St. Petersburg physician says his son hit all of the right notes and never ceases to come up with surprises. He says his son has always been someone to seek consensus.

“He’s always been a very inclusive type of person. I think during one of the debates, in fact, he said ‘I’m a live and let live kind of guy.’ And I think that says a lot about Charlie. It’s him.

The Doctor says his son is also winning rave reviews from all of his neighbors.
